CENTRE COUNTY, Pa. (WTAJ) — The Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry introduced a $250k investment within the Central Pennsylvania Institute of Science & Technology Monday.
The investment is an element of a $4.1 million investment in “Schools-to-Work” and Pre-Apprenticeships pathways throughout Pennsylvania.
Schools-to-Work, established in January 2023 by the Shapiro Administration, helps 52 applications statewide and a pair of,295 college students with customized coaching, instruction and apprenticeship alternatives.
The $250k allotted to the Central Pennsylvania Institute of Science & Technology, which serves college students in Centre, Clinton and Mifflin Counties, will likely be used to begin apprenticeships in automation and instrumentation linked to mechatronics.

“Schools-to-Work is about making sure students don’t just graduate with a diploma, but with a direction,” L&I Secretary Nancy A. Walker stated. “Under Governor Shapiro’s leadership, we have made workforce development for young Pennsylvanians a priority because we know early exposure to real careers changes lives.”
